It does have a switch to put it into ulta-low gears where it can put all 8 horses to work.![]()

I have been waiting for someone to tell me it is a bad idea to use the ct90 on BBSP but no one bit. There are some hills in this thread that is fairly aggressive and I would just choose to pass on most of those. Does this mean I can't get around the park on the ct? I just want to smell the roses.
A better than average rider can go anywhere there that I've seen but you better have two CT90's and a buddy to ride with. Because you don't want to even think about riding there alone and nobody else will want to ride that slow with you unless they are also on a CT90. Famous King Kong Hill and others...meeh I've made it up hills like before that on my old Honda CL70. Slow and steady does just fine if you keep traction. But if you're a 250 lb rider bogging down the CT90 then maybe not.
Why not take the SL350 in your signature line? You'll have more fun on that bike.

I think Honda stopped making CT and SL twenty years ago. They're almost antiques.
I was a little worried when I showed up at Big Bend with my 10-year-old XR200 and saw everyone had almost new bike. My bike has been reliable, but there's a reason people ride new bikes. Imagine trying to extract a broken down bike when deep into the desert on class-3 trails and the major inconvenience that'll cause to other people in the group because you're too cheap to buy new.

...The reason for a new bike has very little to do with dependability.No matter what we tell our CFO.
Better suspension, less weight, more power. But for starting everytime, you can't beat an XR.
